👐 game-ready optimization by Rachel West
This 3D scan shows a row of Punique stelae from the Tophet of Salammbo, a sacred sanctuary in ancient Carthage, Tunisia. The Tophet was a ritual space where the Carthaginians dedicated urns et upright stone stelae to the deities Tanit et Baal Hammon. The stelae, carved in limestone, often depict temple-like façades, religious symbols, et inscriptions. These carvings served both as offerings et as markers above urns that contained the remains of sacrifices. Together, they provide insight into Carthage’s unique religious practices et le central role of Tanit, the protective goddess of the city. This scan is part of Tanit XR, a digital cultural preservation project using photogrammetry et immersive technology to document Tunisia’s endangered heritage. Scanned in 2025 using photogrammetry (Scaniverse + Gaussian splats). 📍 [Carthage, Tunis, Tunisia](.
The scan above is our full-detail preservation record. This optimized version is light enough for real-time use, game engines, WebXR, VR, et community projects. Build something with it.
